Questions people ask about END

What does END mean on a GE microwave?
END is a status message that appears when a programmed cooking cycle has finished and the oven has shut off. It is not an error or a fault code. The display is simply letting you know cooking is complete. Opening the door or pressing CLEAR/OFF will remove the message.
Is it safe to use my GE microwave after the END code appears?
Yes, it is completely safe. END only means the previous cooking cycle finished. Once you clear the display by pressing CLEAR/OFF or opening the door, the microwave is ready to use again for a new cooking cycle.
Could the END message indicate a repair is needed, and what would that cost?
In almost all cases, END requires no repair at all since it is a normal completion indicator. If the END message refuses to clear after pressing CLEAR/OFF, a faulty touchpad or control board could be the cause. Touchpad or control board repairs on a GE microwave typically range from around $75 to $250 depending on parts and labor in your area.
How do I clear the END message on my GE microwave?
To clear the END display, either open the microwave door or press the CLEAR/OFF button on the control panel. Either action resets the display back to the clock or standby screen. If the display does not respond to CLEAR/OFF, the control panel or touchpad may need to be inspected.
Will unplugging my GE microwave clear the END message?
Unplugging the microwave will clear the END display, but it will also reset the clock. The simpler approach is to press the CLEAR/OFF button or open the door, both of which clear the message immediately without disrupting any other settings.
